Don't tell me about your sister's babies
I want one who looks like you
To fill this house with something
Come In From the fields
Oh baby
Come In From the fields
Don't send me flowers from a store
Find the lilac and heather outside
And wrap them up in ribbons
and bring them to me when you
Come in from the fields
Well
Come in from the fields
Don't send me gifts from Europe
Find the words to tell me how you feel
Write them on a postcard and
we will read it when you
Come in from the fields
When you
Come in from the fields
Oooh the simple things like
I love you and
You can wear my shirt and borrow my car

Don't tell me about your sister's babies
I want one who looks like you
To fill this house with something and
we will make her when you
Come in from the fields
When you come in from the fields
[bridge 2]
We will make her when you
Come in from the fields
When you come in from the fields
When you come in from the fields
Come in from the fieldsAs through a glass darkly you seek yourself,
But the light grows weak while under Yggsdrasil.
A basket of eggs may you count your days.
Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain.
I can tell you've been drinking by the scent of your breath.
Another little sip, a bit deeper in debt.
You can rest your head in your wrinkled hands.
But when you awake, you're in another land.
In fields of green rolling on endlessly
You find a fallen nest where there is no tree.
Mark the brown furred hound tied to the mandrake root.
Dare you carve a face in that virtue food?
I can tell what you're thinking. I see it everyday.
I'll help you with your coat, see you on your way.
Sure you want to go walking on a night like this?
Look, there goes another one now. One day I swear they will not miss.
As through a glass darkly you seek yourself,
But the light grows weak while under Yggsdrasil.
A basket of eggs may you count your days.
Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain.
